pressure on countries to sign up and approve this move although there is a lot of resistance internationally to it we have seen the us ambassador to the united nations nicky heavy resorting to duty tactics and writing a threatening letter do you consider the vote i want you to know the president and the us take this vote personally he will be watching this vote carefully and has requested our report back on those who voted against us thank you for your consideration and more more questions are being asked if the common file and said we witnessing is a response to the embassy me well then just how exactly does the american president try to think that he is going to cut as he has said the deal of the century between israelis and palestinians well the israeli military has defended its use of live fire on the border and a spokesman for the i.d.f. blamed hamas which controls gaza our message to the hamas is clear we will not tolerate this violence we will continue to defend all seventy our civilians on our

border we will do so while trying to minimize the amount of casualties but we will not let the rioters through and to harm israeli civilians that are a running distance away well the white house spokesman echoed the view of the israeli government saying only one party is to blame in the deadly unrest but the death toll is over fifty and gaza was calling the leader of restraint. as well we believe that you know hamas is responsible for mass is the one that frankly bear responsibility hamas is responsible hamas is responsible hamas bears the responsibility the hamas as an organization is engaged in cynical action is the aim of these deaths well we asked our guests for their views on the shock waves caused by the u.s. stance on the truth. it's a glorious day of course we are happy by the declaration and the embassy but we are counting not only on these events by all our bottom history

fifty five palestinians were murdered by the israeli occupation and occupation that is protected by this american administration administration today we saw a celebration of mythology and political zealously and and religious fanaticism over politics and international law and you have israel and iran. and iraq hostilities you have the situation in syria heating up between israel and russia you have this incredibly. provocative gesture by the americans and i think the system there is cracking wide open already here in israel some people and all of us want to expose korans to those who declare that they want to kill us who declare that they want to get into israel by booby traps by

clutching called by it are you fools poor that they're just you know at the regional high limit trash always very our other one is not exactly on the island the narrator on a sunday or later in that has only two for for eleven years you're the one who initiated this you initiate this you thought you know well your start up is always what policy is brought to the way you tell where you have anything resides raising children and how do you know a lot of and not anything if you define greater israel as the area between the river jordan in the mediterranean sea the area under effective israeli control jews are now a small minority and that poppy. and the more of a minority they become the more undemocratic. and racist israel

becomes there are zero israeli injuries zero israeli casualties over two thousand palestinians injured over fifty seven palestinians killed including l.o.l. i'll shall you know how magic. what do all of these protests. all of these are guys that were happening on gazan soil inside the area occupied by israel in one thousand nine hundred sixty seven israel used disproportionate force in an illegal manner that invited the condemnation of all the human rights organizations that have any semblance of respect for international law including israeli human rights organizations like you have thousands of people protesting inside there the seed occupied territory and they are being mowed down by an occupation army that is still considered under the law as an occupation army

killing scores a palestinian them won't thousands literally thousands more but you know hamas is not my favorite organization. so you know hamas is a politically bankrupt group which has completely failed to exploit israel's gross gross contradictions and to use them against the this increasingly race a state where the hamas has failed consistently by attacking. jews qua jews and therefore forcing making sure that israelis will band together all the more tightly against what they see as an external for. i have something to tell you we want to establish a palestinian state in the future why not for the first time in history there would

be a palestinian state but not in an obvious stop so i said i'm talking about palestine you have. enough you know part of jerusalem would be. capital for a fake story and we will accept your handouts are the two state solution is the international solution it's not the palestinian solution alone i do believe still that there is a chance for this solution but it will take courage and it will take resolve from the international community to step up. the decision to move the u.s. embassy to jerusalem has made it donald trump highly popular in israel and the country has been a quick to show its appreciation want to create peace between israel and the palestinians. and.

the u.s. special forces soldier has subjected himself to waterboarding tim kennedy posted a facebook video of being mocked and drowned and then explained his reason for doing it magically having it changed if does this look like torture to you guys it doesn't look like torture to be either the reason we're doing this at a base. hero is readied for our that's been appointed to be the director the cia. waterboarding is an interrogation technique of that has been used by the cia many human rights groups and the united nations say it amounts to torture it can cause

serious health consequences like brain and lung damage or even death and the acting cia director mentioned in kennedy's video has been widely criticized after allegations of her involvement in enhanced interrogation techniques which included waterboarding what is more president trump who chose you know house before the job has often said that torture works we discussed the waterboarding video with former guantanamo detainee back. many people can withstand different types of georgia for example i know it might be. the pain of having his own twisted fate in the hold out to others who caught but it's not based on the individual's ability to be able to take that torture although it is according to the definition of the law it's a natural interest in just recently the two people captured by the syrian defense forces who are alleged to be. what. american

captives for isis also water that. their captives so if the americans are saying that these two individuals are committing war crimes which include what or so this kind of notion of it isn't torture it's only torture when we say it is when it affects us it's complete hypocrisy and it's complete and it opposes more importantly international law which which was torture completely i said is that not only physical torture for those so it's psychological but the use ought to force confessions out of people's. authorities in the indonesian city of serbia a family of five was responsible for a suicide bombing at a police headquarters on monday a surveillance camera captured the moment of the blast in which six millions and four officers were wounded police say an eight year old daughter of the perpetrators survived this happened one day after another family carried out

suicide bombings at three churches in serbia thirteen people were killed and dozens more injured islamic state has taken responsibility for those attacks but so far no one has claimed the latest explosion the director of the unesco child and family research center told us in the involvement of young people in such atrocities is on . the possibility that i could be replicated in other countries i mean obviously it is very very disturbing and very upsetting and very disconcerting. now this is happening that you're still you and young children involved in attacks but as you know not the issue of child soldier it is not something new unfortunately in civic society it's only not been there the one thing we do know that is a deterrent is the whole issue of conversation and we need to have conversations to understand better why it is that people feel there are so didn't they have been radicalized or for whatever reason they feel there are soldiers when in families you know and in some cases it may be the children are not willing members in these

attacks but we need to understand more about what's going on that is extremely urgent. shia cleric with strong anti-american views is on course to become the most powerful figure in iraqi politics. coalition has won the largest number of votes in the parliamentary election with most ballots are counted might has the latest from baghdad the results that we have up until now as suggest that the same sort of who is a prominent shia cleric in iraq seems to be the frontrunner this however does not mean that mr assad that has full control on cannot guarantee to choose iraq's that's for me or because according to their work a lot of the next ninety days following their results in the political blocs have to establish a parliamentary majority to push for whoever they think should be a wax prime minister whether it is that assad was known for his hardline stance is against u.s. and u.s. presence in iraq or the better organization had hardly alarmingly also

a key commander in the popular mobilization and it's was time and again called who are called the u.s. presence in your walk on justified you find that the ultimate result is that the u.s. influence in iraq has all to appeal to you a lot of. middle east expert. told us the election result could have a major impact on iraqi relations with us. google son and his movement and since two thousand and three their course the iraqi educational there's a sense among the iraqis specially also on the subject of the song that a lot of conflict the recent including ice is a song was mostly due to the u.s. a few years ago asian and us dollars for storage for such acts in school so against the influence of the presence of u.s. troops and and advisors and so on with iraq because they think they are part of the problem rather than solution there might be some sort of

a conflict of disagreement between the government and the united states on what that and how the united states can keep some sort of present in iraq and so on so the u.s. will have much more difficult times ahead dealing with this becoming government than with about the etymology before. we head of the u.n. atomic watchdog has said iran is complying with its obligations under the two thousand and fifteen nuclear agreement he met with president putin in the south such a in southern russia or he could have gone off reports. well despite this summit having very little to do with the issue of spread of nuclear weapons meeting with the head of the international atomic energy agency has been at the very top of lattimer putin's agenda now to basically discussed how the run nuclear deal would be fairing from now on with the united states and de facto ditching the whole deal last week now russia's permanent representative the was at the meeting and he

said that basically agency's director general has one sick and reiterated that iran is being fully compliant with the deal but you know the director of the atomic energy agency has confirmed iran is complying with its obligations under the nuclear deal now iran's foreign minister is also in russia but he's in most school meeting with his russian counterpart sergei lavrov iran's foreign minister is on sort of a tour he's a meeting with the representatives of the countries who are still in the deal and that's of course everybody except the united states divides a reef seeking surance is from those countries that they are still in the deal that they will protect iran's interests even with the u.s. pullout he said that basically the u.s. decision to abandon the deal has knocked it out of balance now europe in turn is also scrambling to keep the deal a life but that comes with

a catch because the united states have indicated that they are prepared to sanction europe into obedience pretty much openly threatening those european companies that keep doing business with iran with penalties is the u.s. going to impose sanctions on european companies that continue to do business with iran the answer is it's possible it depends on the conduct of other governments and just a quick reminder twenty fifteen when these storage deal was reached a lot of european companies entered the iranian business scene this includes some side. giants as air but still top of folks a bargain and now the united states are basically saying well you have to make a choice and france has already said that it will not allow washington to boss its companies around like that is what we want to be bustles that wouldn't be blindly to what americans tell them or do we want us europeans to say economic interests and we want to have economic relations with iran now another is you raised in the

talks between vladimir putin and the director general of the i.a.e.a. is the potential denuclearization of north korea and so i asked the russian permanent representative at the agency whether or not the iran example could hamper the negotiations and the efforts with pyongyang. america's decision to pull out of the nuclear deal wasn't discussed during this meeting but there are concerns that it could verse we affect efforts to stabilize the situation on the korean peninsula . has stressed that russia will be seeking for denuclearization of north korea and north korea in its own turn has also indicated that it could be ready to move in that direction but as we know the deal with iran two years to reach still with north korea we could be in for a long run. the british domestic intelligence chief has accused russia of trying to undermine democracies across europe andrew parker gave

a speech in berlin where living in a period where europe faces sustained threats and sustained hostile activity from certain states the chief protagonist amongst these hostile today is the russian government instead of becoming a respected great nation. it risks becoming a more isolated pariah. much of andrew parker speech was devoted to the screwball poisoning of the british government earlier claimed the whole world is sure that russia was behind the attack although as you can see on the map of the countries that have taken that view and expelled russian diplomats are not exactly the entire world and according to political analysts to mccormack the u.k. position does not even have the full support across europe in time so the isolation comment i don't think. so straightforward really because within your you

have quite a wide spectrum within the you have parts wide spectrum of opinion about how to i say quote unquote deal as it would be presented in european made it out to deal with russia you know so we have it ranging from a much more friendly government that sets its greece all straight for example which has taken a family new stance with that and i know you know we want to do it still it saves it but i love him in germany and it is a huge amount just why it's in germany following the expulsion of the flow and it didn't have that spelled you know with a significant number. of politicians left in my being that this is the way you know the relations should not be between russia and germany for example. and as for me i'll be back with headlines at the top the hour watching our two international.

just. a. little. bit here up on. the politics in washington not been driven by the fossil fuel energy lobbyist they could have gone into renewables ten twenty years earlier and those jobs would be in place generating good paying jobs in america would be part of a growing world beating industry because they kowtow to those lobbyists they got stuck in the coal business which it up liberated by the gas business which is

a trillion dodgy and for a lot of reasons and now it's going to be obliterated by the chinese led revolution in song. in twenty forty you know bloody revolution through to ukraine the demonstrations going to be relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it you know we hear i mean you are liz put video through to me in the new bill is that i mean you split needle the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. of those who took vote has invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic.

separated by three thousand miles when we think of hollywood. associated with washington. in the tape and reflects life whether promoting lifestyles idiology. the media as a. public company. hollywood greats. we know politicians court hollywood stars for support katy perry is paid over seventy thousand dollars to perform for the hillary clinton campaign well it seems no money was needed for that he stood to stump at their public a national convention in two thousand and twelve harvey weinstein's ties to the clintons and barack obama ran deeper than the millions of dollars of campaign

contributions he's raised obama's daughter malia went to in turn for the weinstein company after his presidency a political campaign support should be expected from citizens celebrity or not. the deeper threat arises when film and media are influenced to tell stories on behalf of the political establishment such products could be construed as propaganda. they were a lot of people in hollywood who have some kind of relationship with the cia and department of defense an awful long list of individuals that we have in the book maybe loads of these people have visited langley and some of them have a close connection. so ben affleck for instance but affleck's former wife jennifer got it on paper equipment out of the cia in early two thousand and thirteen

americans might have found it curious to see the first lady appear via satellite at the academy awards ceremony to announce the best picture oscar for a film about the rescue of american hostages in iran in one thousand nine hundred by the cia well when i think of other films big films that have conveyed the cia's message i think argo argo was a film that talks about the daring do of a couple of cia and soon to go to iran and rescue six american diplomats the iranians wanted to let go of those hostages pretty quickly they didn't really want to cause a problem with the united states of america but i had a total of khamenei who is men personified as evil and the u.s. press had made a deal with the reagan administration urged the reagan campaign at that point not to release the hostages and only after reagan had been elected strangely enough that day the hostages were released so that bill neglects to mention how pivotal

regnum ministration was for breaking campaign was in making sure that those hostages were released it was called the october so. ride's the october surprise may have set the stage for the iran contra scandal of the one nine hundred eighty s. as reagan's white house cut deals with the iranian government to sell them arms in exchange for assistance and releasing american hostages including cia agents in lebanon on the proceeds from those on cells relief diverted to the contra armies fighting to overthrow the socialist government in nicaragua when he betrayed america what he had done was far worse than nixon and watergate and here was reagan that way with it katharine graham he was one of the leaders of the conservative movement there to kill off she said no more watergate's because she said the country can't survive so when the iran contra broke there was no cooperation from the media to go after reagan on that.

so for example in one thousand nine hundred four that was a phone call countermeasures which had been scripted in green is going to start to go any we've seen it davis it was you know big big production but it was on an aircraft carrier and it referred to iran contra the cia gunrunning scandal involving iran and the correct you're now salvador and so on and the military literally said in a memo we have no reason to remind the american public of the iran contra scandal although to denigrate the white house. that is the mentality so they with they said no we won't provide next rocker if you're filming and the film was therefore never made even though it was a long way down the track now that happens time and time and time and time again which ultimately changes the culture the popular culture in the united states and across the west by changing to popular culture you're also playing havoc with the

political culture as well. in two thousand and seventeen tom cruise starred in american made a film exposing the dark side of iran contra says leave the. the cia knew drugs were being smuggled into america to facilitate financing their contra armies but the film did its best to patrol one of the smugglers very seal as an independent wildcard rather than a lifelong cia asset. seal was one of the most important. part of the us in the time of the bay of pigs and yet this movie has the cia first learning about him when they see that he successfully smuggling cigars from cuba the director doug lehman is the son of the house majority counsel to the kerry commission that looked into iran contra they never got to the bottom of the contra cocaine thing but his dad was generally looked upon as

a good guy but i do research into personal he's the guy that made oliver north bemis it was as a result of his inept questioning that oliver north became america's hero and then i find out that this guy his father also was a personal attorney for henry kissinger personal attorney for robert best go personal journey for michael milken and the list goes on doug liman father arthur was not part of the subsequent carry subcommittee's only revealed cocaine smuggling in the conscious supply and that. journalist gary webb published articles in the san jose mercury to better elucidate

their relationship between cia and other agencies that protected contra drug trafficking he was right out of mainstream journalism his story was finally told in two thousand and fourteen. kill the messenger gary webb you know is a really a great investigative reporter who broke a story right at the beginning of the internet era was actually the first big internet news exposé and it involved some geishas of cia connected drug sales in the one nine hundred eighty s. and l. a biggest crack campaign freeway ricky ross who is well known to the public because the l.a. times already called him the kingpin of crack cocaine the person most responsible for the rise of the drug epidemic gary webb came along and revealed that nicaraguans working with the cia and actually provided him with cheap cocaine for all these years the three major newspapers all stepped in with the washington post which is traditionally been like the attack dog of the cia over the decades and to a certain extent still is they just attacked gary story and then attacked gary's

entire career and try to discredit and drove him out of journalism nothing like that is ever happened before since to my knowledge and again as you mentioned it drove him out of journalism and ultimately destroyed his life their relationship between the ruling elite and media has existed since the origin of newspapers but one hundred seventeen congressman callaway and more sounded the alarm that the j.p. morgan bank working with big steel shipping in weapons manufacturers had purchased controlling interests in twenty five of the largest newspapers across the country to promote american entry into the first world war on the side of the british and french owed the morgan banks hundreds of millions of dollars in wartime debts hollywood was quickly recruited to the war. nineteen seventeen the government started to issue with a call that the time liberty bonds and hollywood rallied to the cause and help sell these liberty bonds you had people like mary pickford douglas fairbanks

charlie chaplin and other hollywood stars out there promoting these war bonds. the whole field of public relations that the name public relations was created by a guy named bearnaise. he created the field he was young man specifically to sell war bonds for the first world war that was the origin of what we now know as public relations and he realized instead of telling people buy bonds too because you'll make some money off your bonds you know it's you know save it will help america instead it was like you're buying bonds to defeat the hun you know that killing babies in belgium this was this was his propaganda you know this if you're if you're against killing babies in belgium by u.s. war bonds and so the whole war bond propaganda. that was the very first use of what we today call.
